Duduma Forest Trail

89 km

Set around 89 km from Jeypore in Koraput district, this forest trail takes you through the ecosystem surrounding the Duduma waterfall area — expect bird-watching, possible wildlife sightings, and well-shaded paths that feel removed from the everyday. It's doable as a day trip, though the round trip stretches to about eight and a half hours, so an early start from Jeypore is wise. November through March is the recommended window. Shade and parking are available, and a small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
